What it was like in the courtroom when Trump was found guilty

CBS New York's Alice Gainer has been covering the trial since the very beginning and was in the courtroom when the guilty verdict was read. Here she recounts what it was like in the courtroom when verdict came down. She spoke with Dick Brennan about the historic moment.

I don't even want him locked up because that would be a circus for LE, I just want him put under house arrest with limited visitors in a small house, and not be able to EVER run for any public office.

Why is it that you claim you’re preserving democracy, yet you’re incapable of seeing that your commentary proves that you actually hate democracy and the constitution and wish you were a tyranny that could pick and choose the law for other individuals based solely on your own personal feelings. Pick a lane. You can care about and want to preserve our constitutional republic, or you can fantasize about being a fascist dictator. You don’t get to have both.

[@stevenstanley2369]

I partially agree but jail time is absolutely necessary as any other person guilty on 34 counts would be given jail time. I know people who were given more than 4 yrs. jail time for less than an ounce of weed for personal use but when you commit fraud, false governmental records and overthrow democracy a strong message must be sent.
